Hello, "If consciousness does not pretend to be ego, it becomes aware of itself." Could you please explain this to me?please
There is no word play in that statement, it’s as simple and direct as mentioned but I’ll do my best to explain it further.
As consciousness everything is within you, because you are the source. Meaning awareness and ego is both you, but ego is a mask awareness wears, changeable and not interlinked. Unlike awareness, because we can be conscious without awareness like a tree but awareness is function consciousness uses to experience itself.
So you remember your origin, pure awareness because that’s all you are and will be for eternity. A formless awareness that observes, no identity.
Like an actor playing on stage, you come off stage and take off your role. You focus on just being YOU (I am) because that’s all there is. So, once you remember your not ego but awareness, you have no choice but to accept the fact you are the void because that’s all that remains.
Sorry about the messy hand writing, I am so tired. Hopefully I wrote this post with enough clarity to get my point across, if not… just wait because I’m working on something :)
Edit: you can’t “mess up” the way you’re aware of awareness or be aware of awareness in a “wrong” way, because you are always aware since you are just simply pure awareness so there is no need for methods because there is no getting. You are simply releasing all the stories you thought you were and just existing as awareness. As a formless observer.
